As we all know Canadians love to brag about their healthcare, hockey teams, solid economy and anything else to let us Yanks know they really exist and they don’t think much of us. I’ve grown used to it over the years and still have a soft spot in my heart for our friendly neighbors [...]

Not quite sure what to say about tonight’s Mariners game as it looked so foreign from what we have gotten used to here in Seattle over the past few years. All I know is every time I looked up there seemed to be guys hitting the ball and running around the bases as a result of the [...]

Phil Humber threw his perfect game on Saturday, using just 96 pitches.

After that it got worse as Hector Noesi coming off a nice game against the A’s didn’t even make it through [...]

Well I finally made my way all the way from Wallingford down to Safeco Field tonight to watch my first Mariners game of the season, and as it turned out it was a great game that we won 4-1 over the Cleveland Indians. I posted a little Youtube clip above so you could get a feel for what [...]

This offseason, the Mariners traded Josh Lueke to the Tampa Bay Rays for catcher John Jaso. He, Miguel Olivo, and Jesus Montero make up the current Mariner catching corps. But, through the first 11 games this season, Jaso had only appeared once, as a designated hitter, and he notched a pair of hits, including a […]

I have not written a post in a couple of days mostly due to the fact that I have simply been uninspired. It seems to be a common theme amongst people around town who like myself have followed the Mariners for so long and see no real hope for a return the playoffs in sight [...]
